The Shopinas.com clickers just can’t get their act together this night as they remain the only team that hasn’t recorded a single victory.

Bull Energy.

mark of the PBA Philippine Cup elimination stage.

“They’re playing very hard. They had a chance against Ginebra the last time and they had a
chance against us tonight. I feel very fortunate we got through,” said B-Meg coach Tim Cone after
surviving their struggle versus the Clickers.

“Obviously, they need to work very hard. Otherwise, they would get spank. But in my mind,
they’re doing a good job. They’re playing hard basketball all the time. They’re going to win
along the line,” Cone also said.

The Llamados bucked the Clickers’ tough challenge in mustering enough strength to win a defensive
battle.

“We turned up our defense in the fourth quarter. Mark (Barroca) and Josh (Urbiztondo) gave us a
big lift defensively,” said Cone. “It’s kind of good we pulled through in not relying much on
Kerby (Raymundo) and James (Yap). It’s about the other guys tonight.”

The Llamados needed to step up in the fourth quarter to pull through after dragged into a tight
low-scoring game in the first 36 minutes of action.
